Ug.

Would people please stop wearing Uggs?

They were novel at first because they make your calves look lardy and that would seem to be the antithesis of what one wants from a boot. But this is the important thing to remember: they make your calves look lardy. If you wish to cross the Siberian steppes, please wear the Uggs! You will fit right in with the stolid, overfed babushkas that proliferate there. They will not recognize that your footwear is ironic. Their ankles already look that way, with no help from crafty Australian marketers. Otherwise, please remember -- your boots enrage me. If I have to jump out of a moving bus onto you to make my point, I will.
